St. Brigid's Day Acrostic

Topic: Imbolc, St. Brigid's Day, Brigid

A to Z Challenge: Letter I

Poetic Style: Acrostric/Abecedarian

And now for today’s prompt to write an abecedarian poem – a poem with a structure derived from the alphabet. There are a couple of ways of doing this. You could write a poem of 26 words, in which each word begins with a successive letter of the alphabet. You could write a poem of 26 lines, where each line begins with a successive letter. Or finally, if you'd prefer to narrow your focus, perhaps you could write a poem which focuses on a few letters, using words that repeat them.Brigid's Day

A day of festivals
Brigid, we come to see thee
Come and favour us
Day of dancing and singing
Either all or nothing to give.
Farewell, we bid the Winter
Greetings to the Spring forthcoming and
Home blessings are requested.
Imbolc is your time, Brigid,
Just as the sun rises and
Kairos,
Let us dance under the sunlight.Merry Meet--
Never waste a chance!
Oh, St. Brigid grace this
Place, this Home
Quietly tread here and
Receive you tribute,
Serendiptous
Tidings to you.
Under Brigid's watch
Verily, we now dance
Waiting for the time
eXpressing love--
You, loving with greatest
Zeal.

Who I am?

Born in Dunkirk, NY. Grew up and played in Western New York (Fredonia, NY to be specific). Lived in Dallas, TX, now living in Corning, NY and making my way in the writing and theatre communities. I love a good book (or a series of books), terribly cheesy movies, an avid listener of Great Big Sea and Meatloaf, and part-time painter. I am a Whovian, but I loves me some Star Trek or Firefly too. Anything else, all you have to do is ask.
